The Anatomy of Burke and Hare
Date: Mon 2 Nov – Sat 7 Nov
Location: Bewley's Cafe Theatre, Dublin 2

As part of The New Theatre’s New Writing Week 2027, we are delighted to welcome Colm Maher to present a reading of The Loss of You.
They meet. Instant attraction. Both are married. They embark on an affair.
One rule: never talk about their personal lives.
As the affair progresses, so do their suspicions of each other.
But they can’t give each other up, even when it gets dangerous; their secret love is just too intoxicating.
COLM MAHER
